Whether you use shipment tracking information to improve your bottom line or are
simply looking for some peace of mind, UPS provides several methods to help you
track your shipment's status.
|
| UPS uses tracking numbers to identify and trace every shipment as it moves through the UPS system to its destination. A tracking number is automatically assigned to your shipment, whether you use an online shipping system or a paper-based method (UPS Waybill, etc.). You or your customer can use this number to track, locate, and verify the arrival of your shipment, and keep track of other pertinent shipment details. If you have a tracking number, you can use it to submit a tracking request on your country´s homepage. |
 |
| Whenever you create a shipment, you can assign it a shipment reference that easily coordinates with your billing or filing systems or those of your customers. This reference can contain any combination of letters and numbers and can be a Purchase Order (PO) number, a customer´s job number, a Bill of Lading number, or even a group of words that identifies the shipment, such as "gift for Mom." Use this reference to track your shipment by going to the main Tracking page and selecting the Track by Reference link to the left of the page. Input your reference in the Shipment Reference field, indicate whether your shipment is package or freight, and select your shipping dates. Then select the Track button. |
|
| You can track up to 25 UPS shipments at once by sending your tracking numbers in an e-mail message to the UPS e-mail tracking address. To find this e-mail address, select Tracking at the top of your country's home page, then select Track by E-mail. You can also access this information by selecting the link below. |
|
| Tracking One Tracking Number |
| If you are tracking with a single tracking number, specify one UPS Tracking Number in the subject line of the e-mail or in the body of the message. A detailed tracking response will automatically be returned to your e-mail address. |
|
| Tracking Multiple Tracking Numbers |
| If you are tracking with more than one tracking number, enter all UPS Tracking Numbers in the body of the e-mail message. You do not have to specify a subject for the e-mail. A detailed tracking response for all numbers will automatically be returned to your e-mail address. |
